Arranged in order of decreasing proximity to Toronto - the place you should probably be heading to

 1. Union Station

65 Front St W
Toronto, ON M5J 1E6
(416) 393-4636
2.0 star rating
  12/31/2009

As a historical building, Union Station is impressive. The main hall is awe-inspiring and humbling. As a transportation hub, it leave a lot to be desired.

Certainly traffic has increased a great deal since it was first opened, but that the station has…More »

 2. Clarkson GO Station

1110 Southdown Rd
Mississauga, ON L5J
(888) 438-6646
3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/29/2009

As far as GO Station Gateway locations go, this one isn't bad, largely because it's almost always open when I'm going through these stations. A few of them only seem to be open during the morning rush hour, which is mostly useless to me.

 3. Oakville GO Station

214 Cross Ave
Oakville, ON L6J 2W6
(416) 869-3200
3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/17/2009

When it's actually open, this is a rather nice Gateway location. Surprisingly decent array of snacks, batteries and beverages, though precious little else. Staff is friendly, prices are a bit high, but convenience factor is extreme...

...on weekdays.…More »

    A familiar port of call for many Oakville residents, the Oakville GO station is... middling, at… Read more »

 4. Bronte GO Station

2104 Wyecroft Rd
Oakville, ON L6L 5V6
(888) 438-6646
3.0 star rating
  12/29/2009 First to Review

I can't help but feel that they've done a decent job with this station, overall. Which is confusing, because outside of rush hour, it's probably one of the lesser used stations on the line.

The main terminal building has a decent amount of seating -…More »

 5. Appleby GO Station

5111 Fairview St
Burlington, ON L7L 4W8
(888) 438-6646
1.0 star rating
  12/29/2009 First to Review

One of my least-favourite GO stations. The reasons why:

- Practically no shelters on the platform. Annoying in winter wind and summer sun
- Insect problems on said platforms, at least when I was frequenting the place
- Standard washroom and Ticket…More »

 6. Burlington GO Station

2101 Fairview St
Burlington, ON L7R
(888) 438-6646
3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/30/2009

As far as GO stations, uh, go, Burlington Station is pretty damned good, actually.

Some good points:
1. Parking structure. Finally. These need to be at a lot more stations, and I applaud GO finally doing something about it.
2. Washrooms allow multiple…More »

    As far as Gateway locations go, this one's good. Not as good as Oakville, but good nonetheless.… Read more »

 7. Aldershot GO Station

1199 Waterdown Rd
Burlington, ON L7T 4A8
(888) 438-6646
2.0 star rating
  12/29/2009 First to Review

Amidst a newly-expanded sea of paved parking space, Aldershot GO station stands, a beacon to all those who pass through the nothingness that surrounds it, saying unto them "I can get you out of here!"

Sadly, that's about the best thing I can say about…More »
